Preparation Care of this Camera To avoid damaging your camera and to experience the maximum enjoyment you should exercise the following precautions.

  • The lens, monitor and the camera body can sustain damage if the camera body is dropped or subjected to excessive temperature, moisture, water or dust.
  • The monitor can be damaged if excessive pressure is applied to the screen surface, during actual use or while cleaning. ∫ Splash Proof Splash Proof is a term used to describe an extra level of protection this camera offers against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water or dust. Splash Proof does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with water. In order to minimise the possibility of damage please be sure the following precautions are taken: – The Splash Proof feature works in conjunction with the H-HS12035 and H-HS35100 lenses that were specifically designed to support this feature. – Make sure the built-in flash is closed. – Make sure that all doors, socket caps and terminal covers are securely closed. – Make sure that you are in a dry and secure place when changing the battery, lens or memory card. After changing, make sure their protective doors are securely closed. – If this camera is exposed to water, sand or any other foreign material clean it as soon as possible, taking the necessary precautions that the foreign substance does not get inside the camera. – Under no circumstances should you touch or place any foreign objects within the camera or in close proximity of the camera’s image sensor. ∫ Condensation
  • Condensation may occur on the lens, monitor or in the viewfinder when the room temperature or humidity changes rapidly. This may cause the image to temporarily become hazy. If this occurs, turn the camera off and allow the camera to sit in a temperature stable environment for several minutes. It will clear by itself.
  • If you know that you will be moving between areas where there will be a large change in temperature or humidity, you can help prevent condensation forming on the camera by placing the camera in a large plastic zipper bag, so condensation will form on the bag, not the camera. Allow the temperature to stabilise before removing the camera from the bag. 8 VQT5H82 (ENG) DMC-GH4H&GH4_EB-VQT5H82_eng.book 9 ページ

  • Do not use any objects except a blower brush to clean the image sensor.
  • If you cannot remove the dirt or dust with the blower, consult the dealer or Panasonic. ∫ For care of the viewfinder/eye cup
  • Before you remove stains on the viewfiner and eyecup or start other types of cleaning, remove the eyecup (1). Blow away the dust on the viewfinder surface with a blower (commercially available), and wipe the surface lightly with a dry, soft cloth. Attach the eye cup after the cleaning (2).
  • Be careful not to lose the eye cup.
  • Keep the eye cup out of reach of children to prevent swallowing. About the Lens
  • Do not press the lens with excessive force.
  • Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may cause it to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window.
  • When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.) on the surface of the lens, the picture may be affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft, dry cloth before and after taking pictures.
  • Do not place the lens mount facing downwards. Do not allow the lens mount contacts A to become dirty. 116 VQT5H82 (ENG) DMC-GH4H&GH4_EB-VQT5H82_eng.book 117 ページ

Others Battery Always remove the battery after use.

  • Place the removed battery in a plastic bag, and store or keep away from metallic objects (clips, etc.). If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the body of the battery and the terminals are damaged.
  • Inserting a damaged battery in the camera will damage the camera. Bring charged spare batteries when going out.
  • Be aware that the operating time of the battery becomes shorter in low temperature conditions such as at a ski resort.
  • When you travel, do not forget to bring the battery charger (supplied) and the AC mains lead (supplied) so that you can charge the battery in the country that you are travelling in. Dispose of unusable battery.
  • The battery has a limited life.
  • Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion. Do not allow battery terminals to come into contact with metal objects (such as necklaces, hairpins, etc.).
  • This can cause short-circuiting or heat generation and you may be badly burned if you touch a battery.
